Stepping into my sewing space with excitement is always my goal. When I’m excited to create, I come confident and ready to enjoy the process. I do a few things personally to ensure that I get started on any project with excitement. Let’s take a look!

Creative Affirmation

I am excited to create.

Setting myself up for enjoyment in my sewing space includes, doing the prep work before I start sewing. Some of the things I do to get ready for success at the machine include:

  • Cutting all the pieces for a project
  • Cleaning my space to eliminate overwhelm when I arrive
  • Reading up on new techniques or processes
  • Winding bobbins
  • Converting my idea into notes that I can come back to

By doing these simple tasks (not all at once!) I’m setting myself up to enjoy the time with my sewing machine and am excited to get back to it each day. These are the little tasks that keep me excited and ready to create day after day.

Do you have any tips or tasks that keep the excitement high in your space? I would love to know in the comments!

Enjoy the journey –
